Snow Removal in Preston
Snow removal across Preston, from the streets dropping toward the rivers to the storefronts along King Street East and the lots around them.
Preston sits where the Speed meets the Grand, and its older streets fall toward the water in a way that gives many driveways a grade, if a gentler one than Galt's. The same rules apply: clear in the direction the slope dictates, stack to one side at the low end, and treat the foot of the drive where the run-off freezes. The King Street East core is one of the three BIA areas the City excludes from its curb-faced sidewalk clearing, so storefront and apartment frontages along it are the owner's to keep clear within the City's 36-hour window, and because it is a core they are looked at. Preston also has a mix of small commercial lots, auto shops and plazas along King and toward Hespeler Road that take the same written scope as the industrial parks at a smaller scale: a stacking plan, a hauling trigger and a stated salt rate, with a visit log. Residential streets here, like most in Cambridge, are not regularly salted and stay snow-covered for stretches of the winter, so the driveway contract covers the property and the City plow windrow, and the street is the City's on its own schedule.

Frequently asked questions
Do the rules change in Ayr or the rest of North Dumfries?
Yes. Ayr is in North Dumfries Township, which has its own winter maintenance and sidewalk by-laws, so the 36-hour figure and the parking rules quoted on this site are Cambridge's and not automatically the township's. We confirm the applicable rule for any township address before setting up service.
Is there a surcharge for Hespeler or the north end?
No. Pricing is by property, not by part of the city. What changes a quote is a steep or awkward drive, heavy hand work, a lot that needs hauling, or a property far from any existing route.
Can you handle a plaza and the owner's house on one agreement?
Yes, and it is common. They are separate scopes with separate pricing, on one agreement with one invoice and a visit log for each.
